What Review Score Would You Give Elden Ring Nightreign?
Is Elden Ring Nightreign FromSoftware’s most divisive Souls game yet? Probably, and that’s what makes our latest ratings poll so interesting…
Released for PS5 a couple of weeks back, Nightreign (which, admittedly, we keep spelling incorrectly for some reason) is a co-op-focused escapade, where up to three friends — or strangers — team up to tackle increasingly dangerous bosses across chunks of Elden Ring’s grim world.
As alluded, we’ve read many opposing opinions on this one. We’ve seen it called everything from a misunderstood multiplayer masterpiece to a disappointing cash grab, while many simply don’t want to see the Japanese developer branch out into a live service model.
The critic reviews were largely positive, at least. We gave it a ‘great’ 8/10 in our Elden Ring Nightreign PS5 review, calling it “a very interesting game that’s likely going to divide FromSoftware fans”. No kidding!
“While we don’t think it really holds a candle to games like Dark Souls 3 or Elden Ring, it isn’t really trying to. This is basically FromSoftware having some fun with its IP, and with a squad of friends, Elden Ring Nightreign is a blast,” we concluded.
